Item A philosophical defense of ecological sensitivity in the business world(Mid Win, 2021) Sachdev, Kumar NeerajAn attempt is made in the paper to analyze the nature of virtue of ecological sensitivity to argue for its relevance and need in the business world. Ecological sensitivity is a virtue or quality of a human being to relate himself to the environment in a protective spirit of oneness. It is not a virtue by extension from human to environment like compassion or empathy but a virtue of independent normative standing since it is argued to be equal to other personal and inter-personal virtues in the pool of virtues to live a good human life. It is further argued that since ethics is a study of values and virtues to live a good human life and business companies are a great source to sustain and improve upon the state of mankind in the world and the condition of planet earth itself, it makes sense to emphasize the need to include ecological sensitivity as a virtue in the conduct of business professionals. It also attempts to understand how the business professionals ought to interpret ecological sensitivity in and around their surroundings on a daily basis.Item A Critical Assessment Of A Moral Foundation Of Human Rights: A Bentham’s Perspective(2024-05) Sachdev, Kumar NeerajThis paper critically analyse Bentham’s ideas of human rights from the perspectives of select thinkers to examine whether they accommodate a moral foundation of human rights. In the critical analysis, we aim to determine first whether Bentham is correctly attributed with the idea of human rights in their writings and second, whether it is possible to infer particular human rights such as the right to freedom, the right to well-being, and the right to equality from his writings.
